I didn't start watching Bridgerton when it aired on Netflix, I was a few weeks late to the party. To be honest, I don't even remember why I decided to watch it in the first place. But then I pressed play and got hooked. I mean, HOOKED. From the first second Julie Andrews started speaking, [...]
Can you believe I'm writing about inner peace?? No, it's ok if you laughed. I totally get it. Take a second to really take it in. Melody is writing about inner peace. It may be the most hilarious notion ever. I've never thought of myself a particularly calm person. Once, during a meeting at work [...]
I remember very clearly how I felt when Trayvon Martin got shot in 2012. In all my anger, hurt and frustration, I wrote about it, only to delete it right after. I didn't know why I was feeling so strongly, or how to give space to those feelings. Throughout the years, whenever an unarmed black [...]
You've literally heard (read) me say this many times, but for the love of all that is good: please be kind. I'm SO over this incessant need people seem to have to be so horribly mean to strangers (!!!!) on the internet. Yes, it's the internet and you "bring it upon yourself" by being present, [...]
Hi lovelies, How are you all doing? Bored, stir-crazy? Just fine? Or are you lonely? More anxious than usual? Feeling more depressed than usual? Literally any of the above answers is valid.

And subsequently falling flat on my face Hi lovelies, Missed me? It's okay if you didn't, but I'm gonna explain the sudden hiatus anyway. Bear with me, it's a bit of a thing. Grad school. A company. A certificate. A full-time job. Teaching. Family. Social. A few months ago, my to-do list consisted of all [...]
Hi lovelies, So we all know I'm a dancer in my spare time, and I love it. So imagine my sheer joy when I got the opportunity to do a ballet photo shoot. Living out my ballet and model fantasies? YES PLEASE THANK YOU WHERE DO I SIGN? I asked my bestie Elfi to come [...]
Hi Lovelies, I'm kind of lazy when it comes to skin care. I mean, yeah I use a face wash and moisturiser every morning, but that's where it stops. In the spirit of "starting the year off right", I ordered a couple of products from The Ordinary. I've heard a bunch of good things about [...]
Here's to more posts, less whining, more dining and as much laughter as humanly possible. Hi lovelies, I blinked and 2018 was over. And what a year it was. High highs and low lows, learning about the things I want, new friendships, solidified friendships and a heck of a lot of love. But you know what? I can do better. In 2019, I can spend more time doing the [...]
